Well first you have to define your definition of a AAA game. In most cases the AAA games of the year have been FPS which the Wii is not focused on. In most cases, the FPS genre is one that is dominated more by a clever rehashing of old standards with updated graphics, something that wouldn't work on the Wii. The Wii would require a larger overhaul of mechanics and controls to make a real AAA shooter. As to your complaint about GH3 being a dirty port, then they all are. They're the same game with different graphical prowess, the Wii obviously being less powerful than its two main competitors. Assassin's creed would not have built the hype it had had it not been for the stunning graphics and the "next-gen" experience that people wanted. There isn't a real place for that, instead we have different interesting games like Zack and Wiki as well as No More Heroes. And I'm all for it. Instead of rehashing Goldeneye over and over again, lets get some new games.
